Background of Lep
Leptin is a protein product of the mouse obese gene. Mice with mutations in the obese gene that block the synthesis of Leptin have been found to be obese and diabetic and to have reduced activity, metabolism and body temperature. cDNA clones encoding Leptin have been isolated from human, simian, mouse, and rat cells. The expression of Leptin mRNA has been shown to be restricted to adipose tissue. Although regulation of fat stores is deemed to be the primary function of leptin, it also plays a role in other physiological processes, as evidenced by its multiple sites of synthesis other than fat cells, and the multiple cell types beside hypothalamic cells that have leptin receptors. Many of these additional functions are yet to be defined.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

Western blot analysis of Leptin using anti-Leptin antibody (PB9658).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours.
Lane 1: NIH3T3 Whole Cell Lysate at 40ug.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-Leptin antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9658) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Leptin at approximately 16 kDa. The expected band size for Leptin is at 16 kDa.

5 Customer Q&As for Anti-Leptin Antibody Picoband®
Question
We are currently using anti-Leptin antibody PB9658 for mouse tissue, and we are well pleased with the WB results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says mouse. Is it likely that the antibody can work on feline tissues as well?

Asked: 2019-12-06
Answer
The anti-Leptin antibody (PB9658) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with feline tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in feline you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Question
We were well pleased with the WB result of your anti-Leptin antibody. However we have been able to see positive staining in adipose tissue of abdominal region secreted. using this antibody. Is that expected? Could you tell me where is LEP supposed to be expressed?

Question
We bought anti-Leptin antibody for WB on placenta in a previous project. I am using mouse, and I plan to use the antibody for ELISA next. I am looking for examining placenta as well as adipose tissue of abdominal region in our next experiment. Could you please give me some suggestion on which antibody would work the best for ELISA?
